Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to digital radio telephony methods and installations, the implementation of which requires that a fixed infrastructure broadcasts periodically and at high frequency, to transceiver stations, frequency order numbers constituting any subset, of cardinal at most equal to a determined value n, of a set of predetermined frequencies of cardinal N.
  • the invention finds a particularly important application in radiotelephony (the term radiotelephony having to be interpreted in a broad sense and as concerning as well the transmission of data as that of speech) qualified as cellular, whose standards are in progress preparation by the European conference of postal and telecommunications administrations.
  • radiotelephony the term radiotelephony having to be interpreted in a broad sense and as concerning as well the transmission of data as that of speech
  • the invention finds a particularly important application in radiotelephony (the term radiotelephony having to be interpreted in a broad sense and as concerning as well the transmission of data as that of speech) qualified as cellular, whose standards are in progress preparation by the European conference of postal and telecommunications administrations.
  • a description of the general characteristics of these installations can be found in the article "The European digital cellular system for communication with mobiles", by B. GHILLEBAERT and others, in l'Echo des Diegos, n ° 131, first quarter 1988.
  • the infrastructure In a cellular radio telephone installation as defined above, the infrastructure must transmit, over broadcast channels, two lists of frequencies repeated at regular intervals.
  • a first list is that of the frequencies on which, in a given cell or zone, the mobile unit must operate in frequency hopping modulation.
  • a second list is that of the frequencies of the broadcasting channels that the station must monitor in standby mode, in order to make a cell selection, and in online mode, for measurement and comparison purposes.
  • the mode of transmission must make it possible to adopt any of the possible subsets, which excludes the method which consists, in the case of a limited number of subsets, of assigning to each an identification number which would be transmitted alone.
  • the individual transmission of the serial number of each frequency of the selected subset would require, in the most unfavorable case, to code 16 serial numbers, each on 10 bits.
  • the present invention aims, in general, to reduce the volume of binary information necessary to transmit the frequency sequence numbers to be used, these sequence numbers being able to be considered as elements belonging to a set O, ... , N-1. It aims more particularly to give a simple solution to this problem when the number of elements N is equal to or little more than an integer power of 2, that is to say when N is equal to or little more than 2 k (k being an integer).
  • the invention proposes in particular a method of digital radio-telephony, according to which: the broadcasting, from a fixed infrastructure to mobile transceiver stations, is the serial numbers of working frequencies, constituting a any subset, of cardinal at most equal to a determined value n, a set of predetermined frequencies of cardinal N; frequencies in the subset are identified in each listening position from the serial numbers and the station is operated on the identified frequencies,
  • the sequence numbers of frequencies belonging to a set whose cardinal N is between 2 k ⁇ 1 and 2 k the number V of the frequency for which half of the remaining frequencies has a lower sequence number and half of the remaining frequencies has a sequence number greater than -V, modulo the total number of frequencies; the number of the frequency retained on k bits is identified; the serial numbers of the two divided frequency groups are renumbered; the determination of the frequency number is repeated on each group and the two partition frequencies are defined on k-1 bits; the renumbering, determination and definition operations are repeated until the order numbers to be transmitted are exhausted; the sequence numbers of the partition frequencies are transmitted according to a determined sequence known to the transceiver; and the working frequencies are determined from the serial numbers in the station.
  • lower order number and “higher order number” should not be interpreted as implying an order relation, but as indicating that the order numbers belong to half of the original set following the value and preceding the value, respectively, in a circular arrangement.
  • N is of the form 2 k -1 because, this avoids using arithmetic with mixed radical and therefore simplifies the calculations by substituting from simple shifts to multiplication or division operations.
  • the number of possible frequencies that is to say the number N of the elements of the set, is of the form 2 k , for reasons related to the use of a transmission in binary mode.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to carry out the transmission over a total number of bits which is close of the theoretical minimum.
  • the gain is not as high in the particular case of cellular digital radio telephony provided by the standard, but it is sufficient to authorize the transmission of all the serial numbers of the 16 frequencies maximum required among 1024 on 128 bits, i.e. 24 bytes, even when reserving 2 header bits.
  • the invention also provides a mobile radio station comprising transmission / reception means on several frequencies defined by serial numbers and constituting a subset of cardinal frequencies at most equal to n, belonging to a set of frequencies whose serial numbers constitute a set of cardinal N, making it possible to implement the method defined above, characterized in that the mobile station includes means making it possible to match a determined frequency with each of the numbers order of the assembly and a decoder making it possible to supply said means with the real order number, in clear, from a message established by the process defined above.
  • the means can be constituted by a processor, which is in any case necessary in the mobile station to fulfill other functions, when the various possible frequencies are deduced from each other by an algorithm involving the serial number.
  • These means can have other constitutions and for example use a correspondence table stored in a programmable read only memory.
  • the coding comes down to a process of identifying the elements, the maximum number of which is n, of a subset by a partition process implementing a tree selection structure, the coding of an element depending on the elements previously selected.
  • the selection of the nodes can be carried out by a simple, but slow process, consisting in carrying out a test on each element in turn; we can also consider fast, but more complex algorithms.
  • the values assigned to all the nodes have a number of bits independent of the values to be coded, that is to say of the sequence numbers themselves, and only depend on predetermined conventions, memorized on transmission. and at the reception, and the cardinal of the assembly.
  • the decoding operations in the mobile station, where the chosen conventions are memorized, are inverse to those which have just been described.
  • the processor first identifies the first node, whose serial number is given directly in binary coding. He then performs the numbering required to reconstruct the first two descendants. Finally, the processor, by using the predetermined algorithm linking the frequency values to their serial numbers, supplies the transmitting and receiving part of the station with the frequency values corresponding to the channels to be monitored and / or to the channel on which must be sent for communication with the infrastructure.
  • a frequency chosen arbitrarily, is identified by a single bit. Its presence or absence is indicated simply by sending a bit. This frequency must be stored in the mobile unit. It can be f0 or f1 023 for example. This leaves a maximum of sixteen elements consisting of sixteen numbers between 1 and 1,023 to be transmitted.
  • the node is chosen so that there is one more element in the group on the left: the otherwise could be used, the main thing being that it is stored in the station.
  • the first node is coded on 10 bits, even when a lower number of bits would suffice.
  • the second node is formed by the descendant of the first node, arbitrarily in the group on the left, renumbered from nine, that is to say the opposite of 520. This renumbering is indicated in brackets in the table above. We see that the value 112, (corresponding to the element originally numbered 121), divides the group into two subgroups of four and three elements respectively.
  • the third node is formed by the descendant of the first in the right group.
  • the value 53 separates this group into two sub-groups of three elements, between 54 and the value 309 opposite 53.
  • the second and third nodes can be coded on nine bits, since their value is lower than 512.
  • each even node 2m is the left descendant of the node m while the odd node 2m + 1 is the right descendant of the node m.
  • mixed radical coding is very simple because it is such that there is an exact correspondence between values and words having a decreasing number of bits.
  • Decoding is also very simple.
  • This formulation is used to differentiate from modulo, which is such that 0 ⁇ r ⁇ p-1.
  • Coding and decoding can easily be done by software.
  • a simple decoding program corresponding to a case and to a particular language will be described below, by way of simple example.
  • the bit f0 indicates whether the frequency F0 is present or not: if so, it is immediately identified.
  • serial numbers of the 16 frequencies F1 to F16 or F o to F15 are given by:
  • the program can be as follows, in ADA language. The statements have been skipped because they are obvious:
  • the coding is carried out by a process dual to that of the decoding and consequently the coding program can be deduced directly from the decoding program which has just been given.
  • a first embodiment consists in simplifying the coding by not using completely arithmetic in mixed radical base but rather using the coding of a given value with an integer number of bits.
  • 9 bits can be used to code a value between 0 and 350.
  • the cost in terms of number of bits is approximately 1/2 bit per coded value; for the example given above, the number of bits required is then increased by an amount which is zero when N is equal to 2 k -1, regardless of k integer.
  • Another process which makes it possible to preserve both the pure binary coding and the performances when the cardinal of the set is little more than 2 k -1 consists in using a cartography for the values beyond 2 k -1.
  • Another alternative embodiment makes it possible to adapt the coding and decoding method described above to the case where the possible subsets represent only a determined fraction of all the subsets of the set of N elements.
  • This variant involves giving, at the start of the format, an indication of the domain or of the fraction of the set in which all the elements of the subsets to be coded are found.
  • a first solution consists in giving the low value and the high value of the domain in which the elements are found. This requires 2 log N-1 bits. The remaining available bits are used to code the values.
  • the relation between the value k such that all the subsets having up to k values can be coded and the domain (maximum value minus minimum value) is the following, in the case of 124 bits maximum:
  • yet another variant consists in not giving the first value exactly, but in indicating only one benchmark among several, indicating that the domain does not descend below this benchmark.
  • the benchmark can for example be chosen from 21 different values in the case considered above.
  • the basic set is defined by giving, in clear, an original frequency among the 1024.
  • the serial number of this frequency being part of the set, the coded part corresponds to the parameters:
